Mom's Potato Soup with Egg Dumplings

I love this potato soup that my mom has made my entire life. I have adapted this recipe, over time, to include of the cooking techniques that my husband and I enjoy.  I think you will love this potato soup with egg dumplings. It is one of my favorites! 

Our Improv Cooking Challenge was to make something with potatoes and eggs.  I could have made a breakfast dish, but I was so hungry for this potato soup that I had to make this. I am so glad I did, this wintery mix kind of day was calling for comfort food.  Thank you to Nicole for making this challenge possible!



Check out my other potato soup recipes:

Mom's Potato Soup

All of my potato soups are chunky.  Meaning that the onions and potatoes are left as vegetables and not pureed into soup.  All of mine are vegetarian, meaning that there is no meat (but dairy and eggs are present.)  All are delightful served with buttered toast or biscuits.  Not a fancy soup but a darned delicious meal!

      Mix the flour with the egg and keep adding flour until you get the consistency you want. My family has made a similar soup since around 1890's. We add salt to the egg dumplings and since we love the dumplings will use two eggs. You add to bubbling hot mixture and it doesn't really matter if the dough you drop in is a little soupy or a stiff...it will cook and be tasty. I like to use instant potato flakes to thicken the soup and if I want it really rich use half and half for the milk. Float a pat of butter on top is a nice touch also. It's a very forgiving recipe and feel free to add ham or bacon. Yum!
